Narration In Favor Of Books Mygale
Richard Lafargue is an eminent plastic surgeon haunted by dirty secrets. He has an operating theatre in the basement of his chateau and keeps his partner Eve imprisoned in her bedroom, a room he has equipped with an intercom and 300-watt speakers through which he bellows orders. Eve is only allowed out to be paraded at cocktail parties and on the last Sunday of each month, when the couple visit a young woman in a mental asylum. Following these outings, Lafargue humiliates Eve by forcing her to perform lewd sexual acts with strangers while he watches through a one-way mirror. In alternating chapters, Jonquet introduces seemingly unrelated characters - a criminal on the run after murdering a policeman, and an abducted young man who finds himself chained naked in a dark chamber, forced to endure all manner of physical torture at the hands of a mysterious stranger, whom he calls 'Mygale', after a type of tropical spider. All of these characters are caught in a deceitful web, doomed to meet their fate.

DAMN!!My first hunch was correct.....*patting myself on the backBut I LOVED how the author incorporated doubt in that hunch over and over again.And I especially loved the ending....can you consider that an HEA?? hahahaaaI saw Pedro Almodóvars film The Skin I live In before discovering this novel and was blown away by it. Reading this has blown me away once again and will remain in my memory for quite some time. This book (packed into just over 100 pages) has left me emotionally reeling, which doesnt happen often enough.This has been mentioned in previous reviews here that the film and novel (although the main plot remains) will be a totally different experience and advise all to do both. Im glad that I could
Not really strong in the terms of plot or charactrization but it's really twisted and enjoyable to read about the relationship between these two really horrible people.I don't think it would have worked if the two main characters weren't so equally messed up and guilty.(like how it didn't work in the movie. )Also it was one of the most fucked up things I've ever read.Not fucked up enough for Almodóvar apparently since he felt the need to add an unnecesary rapist furry in a tiger costum to his
Maybe you have to be a sick and deranged individual to enjoy this. Or maybe you need to be able to detach yourself a little from your own humanity and perceive human nature with a neutral eye. One thing is clear: Tarantula is not for the faint of heart.For me, this is hands down the best revenge book Ive ever read! I seriously cant imagine a more terrifying form of revenge than the one presented here (and I assure you, I have a wild imagination). Complex type of vengeance too, if you think about
O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O4.5 SHOCKING STARS!! In order to read this book, perseverance is a must.Someone take me to a mental hospital:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NEWEST EDIT: Due to some enlightening of certain characters and plot twists, I am reading this one NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW. Edit: I'll pick this one back up later. I have no darn clue what's going on, and these words aren't making sense to me.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How do you know me
whoa, the ending was very different than the movie and I think i like it more. less soap opera and more thriller. really liked the structure but saw the reveal coming obviously since I've seen the movie, but even so there was some pretty heavy-handed foreshadowing that annoyed me. I appreciated the attention to detail tho
This is maybe the most fucked up thing I've ever read and I'd probably enjoy it more if a) I didn't guess the twist 30 pages in and b) I didn't struggle to read it in French, one agonizing page at a time. And yet, I still enjoyed it and found it fascinating, with the relationship at the center of the novel being one of the craziest and, in result, best.
